Greetings,

Yes, you can certainly become a fund manager in the mutual fund industry, even with your current experience and qualifications.

While the specific requirements may vary depending on the mutual fund company, here are some general qualifications that are typically sought:

• Experience: Your 7 years of experience as a LIC Chairman's Club member agent and 24 years of involvement with LIC are valuable assets. This experience demonstrates your knowledge of the financial services industry and your ability to interact with clients.
• Qualifications: Your commerce graduate degree and ICWAI (Inter) pass are also relevant qualifications. These demonstrate your understanding of financial concepts and your analytical skills.
• AMFI Certification: Obtaining the AMFI certification is crucial for working in the mutual fund industry. It validates your knowledge of mutual fund products and regulations.
• Additional Certifications: Consider pursuing additional certifications like CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) or FRM (Financial Risk Manager) to enhance your credentials and increase your competitiveness.

While age may not be a direct barrier, it's important to note that some mutual fund companies may have specific age requirements or preferences. However, your experience and qualifications can make you a strong candidate, regardless of your age.

I hope this information helps you.
